Features
Significantly faster IOThe Raspberry Pi 4 has two USB 3.0 ports, for up to 10x faster transfer speeds than USB 2.0, perfect for connecting fast peripherals like SSDs and flash drives. There are also two USB 2.0 ports for connecting less speed-dependent peripherals like keyboards and mice.
The ethernet jack on the Raspberry Pi 4 moves to true gigabit speed, for super-speedy wired networking and, as with the Raspberry Pi 3 B+, there's Power-over-Ethernet capability too (requires additional Raspberry Pi PoE HAT).
4K display support, dual micro-HDMIThere are dual micro-HDMI ports that support up to 4Kp60, to use your Raspberry Pi 4 with much larger displays with crisp, sharp, high resolution. Use the H.265 4Kp60 hardware decoding to watch 4K movies in your favourite media centre distro.
For the first time, you'll be able to use dual HDMI displays with the Raspberry Pi. This is great for working on a bunch of different tasks at the same time without having to work in tiny windows.
Bluetooth 5.0 and wireless LANThe new chipset supports Bluetooth 5.0 (from 4.2 on the Raspberry Pi 3 B+) and also dual-band 802.11 b/g/n/ac wireless LAN, like the previous generation Raspberry Pi, for quick wireless networking with less interference and better reception.

sorted byThere is projects for complete beginners to people who been at it for years. Some of these will require you to buy more accessories while others don't. Can be as simple as a games emulator or to learn computer programming. Other uses include tvheaded for streaming freeview over wifi to your mobile devices, running kodi for a media centre, pihole to get rid of ads, it's perfect for home assistant for building your own smart home, if you got a 3d printer it's great for octoprint but a pi 3 more than enough for that.
